Charity rides are a great thing. The KC metro has some classics. Typically these events are good challenges for the enthusiasts in the Euro Sportif fashion; minature road races for many.
September 11th, 2011 is the date for a slightly different format event. The Aids Bicycle Challenge is designed as a ‘rolling party’. Think St. Louis Midnight Ride for those who have been entertained at that event.
The ABC Ride rolls from Riverfront Park to approximately 85th and Main and back, in a ribbon shaped route. Few hills, but frequent stops along the way with live entertainment, food and beverage. A party at every stop, AND an afterparty at Riverfront Park that should be over the top. Designed so anybody with a bike can have a good time. Accomplished riders can get the big workout in the morning (noon start for the ABC) then come join the fun; bring that neighbor who’s always asking about the ‘spandex’ shorts
A series of sign up parties starting on Monday 7/25 will have raffles and rides. The kickoff at Family Bicycles (6:30PM 7/25). SPIN! Pizza wil host more in August. Be there or be square.
